COURTHOUSE,
Nov 4 – Then Congressman Devin
Nunes sued NBC after Rachel
Maddow reported on March 18,
2021 that he had gotten a
package from Russian agent
Andriy Derkach and had not
turned it over to the FBI.
On October
8, 2024 a proceeding was held
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge P. Kevin Castel.
Inner City Press was there, thread
On October 16,
Nunes' counsel asked for a
discovery conference,
including on "the instruction
that was given to Ms. Maddow
not to answer further
questions related to her
personal political views; an
instruction made only after
extensive questioning on the
topic had been conducted."
E-mail between counsel on
Patreon here.
On October 23
Nunes' counsel sent in another
letter reiterating his demand
to Maddow's personal devices,
stating that "Ms. Maddow
testified that she does in
fact use her personal devices
to communicate with colleagues
regarding work." Letter on
Patreon here.
On November 4,
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
ordered "discovery shall be
reopened for the limited
purpose of conducting a search
of Ms. Maddow's personal
devices. The search shall be
limited in scope to specific
time periods and search terms
that relate to the segment
aired regarding Mr. Nunes. The
search shall only be of Ms.
Maddow's personal email, text
messages, Signal and WhatsApp
conversations. Plaintiff's
request to reopen Ms. Maddow's
deposition and for any other
relief is DENIED." 5-page
